A convection microwave DOES NOT use the magnetron when on the convection setting. Think of it as a giant easy bake oven. The idea of a convection microwave is you have an oven and microwave. Using both technologies you can cook something super quick but still make it brown and crispy. You can still use it as a regular microwave or you can use it just as an oven.
Microwaves can zap away certain nutrients but it isn't as bad as the raw foodies want you to believe. I haven't heard of "dead nutrients" in water... However in a microwave you can superheat water which can have very horrible consequences!

I didn't mention a convection microwave. Thanks for the words about them though, I didn't know they exist and it's nice to know.
